As usual, during this kind of moment where I'm packing my bags, planning of what to bring home and what not to bring and wondering how many pieces of clothing should I bring along, the song "Home" by Daughtry will be automatically played over and over in my mind... Not to mention the one by Micheal Buble, entitled the same; "Home"... I makes me feel... syahdu... sayu... heavy hearted...

I'll be leaving by bus (Transnational) which I bought the ticket months before... I can imagine it now that I'll be looking out through the bus' windows, wondering if things have changed at home or not... With my ears be plugged with earphones, I'll let my mind sway into the past where the thoughts of the ones I'm leaving behind and the ones I'm about to meet appear one by one... making me feel... lebih syahdu... lebih sayu... more heavy hearted...

Then as time flies by, I'll feel sleepy and fall asleep... I hate sleeping in the bus... Because I will drool myself until the collar of my jacket becomes wet... urghhh

I'm hoping that the one who will be sitting beside me in the bus smells nice... I dont care if it's gonna be a girl or guy (I wont be making any interactions with neither of them), as long as they are not smelly and sweaty, I wont mind... I dont want to be covering my nose for 6-7 hours of journey...

Selamat hari raya to all friends (especially Housemates/classmates) and bloggers!!Be safe during raya!! :-PLove you all~~

I'll be bringing back my Grammar book along with me... and also the thoughts of abundance of assignments due after hari raya... Shit!!!!!!

"TESL? How hard could it be? U just study about grammar, vocabulary and stuff... Damn, u're so lucky... I have to work my ass out just to pass my course's test papers... I wish I'm good in English..."

I often get this kind of remark from my former schoolmates who are now in UiTM Shah Alam doing physics, biology, engineering, chemistry and etc... How hard could it be? That was the thing that crossed my mind when I was filling the UiTM application form... How hard could it be...

Very hard...

Guys, I assure u... It's not easy taking TESL... It's not about just doing fill up the blanks grammar exercises, writing short essays and learning the themes of poems like u thought it is... It's much more than that... It has sociology, psychology, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition and other hell subjects that can drain your brain into a small peanut...

But one thing's for sure... it's fun...

Watching movies during classes, role-plays, drama and the best part is that we got to be school kids again when u're classmates are doing microteaching...

I was in a queue for the ATM machine and there were two guys in front of me... I swear, the one who was in front of me was awfully smelly... I distanced myself about 30 - 40 cm from him and yet his smell was still killing me softly... After the first guy of the line left the ATM, the smelly guy went on pressing the ATM's buttons...

Hmm?? Does this guy know what he's doing? You're supposed to put in your ATM card first... I think to myself... But after a minute of him pressing the buttons and the ATM was not responding, I told him; Encik, kena masukkan kad dulu... baru boleh guna...

He stepped aside and let me use the ATM... but as I put my card in, I noticed that he was standing beside me, staring at the ATM's monitor screen... I looked at him straight to the eyes with a weird look on my face... he reacted by smiling... Encik, boleh tak undur ke belakang lagi??

Owh? Okey okey...

He backed off a bit, pushing the two women behind him behind... one of them moved to the next ATM...

After withdrawing RM100 from my account, I went straight to the door... God, seriously, that guy needed a bath and a brain...

It was the eve of Aidilfitri and every kid in Ketengah Jaya was having fun burning fire crackers and lanterns, including my little brother and I... I was about 11 years old that time... While the sound of "Takbir Raya" was heard from a nearby surau, we lit up as many firecrackers as we could... Some were loud, the others were bright... With the lights from the lanterns and candles that we had arranged on the fence earlier, we felt safe from the darkness...

From far, we could hear echos of big explosions... it was like being in a war-zone... Boom!! Bang!! Beng!!

I gazed at the night sky... The stars were bright... No clouds were there to block me from admiring the twinkling stars...

Then, suddenly, a flying ball of purple flames passed by in the sky!!

I flew passed by the top of my roof for seconds and then disappeared...

I'm sure it was not a meteor for its colour and the way it gracefully flew... and there wasnt any news about meteor impact... but it did look like a comet for it has a coma and a tail... but comets dont fly into the atmosphere for it will melt... and comets are made of ice, not flames...

I've been listening to Lenka and Daughtry and one of their songs got the line "The writings on the wall~"... So I Googled the line... Well, according to Wikipedia, "The writing on the wall" or "The handwriting on the wall" is an idiom, a portent of doom and misfortune... Whoaa...

I changed my blog's name from "crossingmyfingers" to "Writings on a wall" after MdmNaga repeatedly said that I'm like a wall... The wall doesn't speak, so the writings on it are doing all the talking...

Anyway, Alvin, Alief and I watched District 9 yesterday... We unanimously agreed that the movie was super cool... it was like a documentary at first with the first person camera view but as the movie proceeded, the movie started to became more interesting and mind blowing...

The first person view reminded of Cloverfield, which is one of my favorite movie... Some people dont like it because it makes them dizzy... maybe the excessive amount of time spent playing Counter Strike makes me a little bit immune to the first person view... hmm...

I guess District 9 showed the horrible side of humans... All the propaganda, selfishness and the strange beliefs that they have...
